ANSWERING PACOM’S CALL
USAMRMC-sponsored initiatives include assessing mobile apps and Web-based platforms for suicide prevention, and predeployment, skills-based stress reduction and resilience training for service members and their families.
CONCLUSION USAMRMC’s
initiatives are instrumen-
tal to the Army’s goal to modernize the delivery of medical care on the future bat- tlefield. Te command’s efforts to address AOR-unique technology needs, apply OIF and OEF lessons learned, and advance documented lifesaving techniques will drive the achievement of that goal. With the rebalancing of military assets, the importance of the PACOM AOR cannot be overstated, as it may well be the first real-world test bed for those advances.

from the point of injury to fixed facilities. Te first phase of the program involves the integration of available commercial off-the-shelf technologies to capture, pro- cess and disseminate physiological data and related patient medical information in real time.
As part of TTS, USAMRMC is also sponsoring evaluation of a Prehospital Medical Informatics (PHMI) framework for use in aeromedical vehicles. PHMI is designed to provide an integration capa- bility for future medical devices, enabling both the medic and remote clinician to capitalize on emergent technologies such as predictive medical decision sup- port models and to manage single and multiple patients simultaneously during flight. Te PHMI concept also presents opportunities for joint collaboration as

the services move toward capturing a continuous record of medical care from aerial medical evacuation through trans- port to fixed facilities and ultimately incorporation into the patient’s perma- nent medical record.
PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH Te Asia-Pacific region encompasses 36 countries. To cover this area, units often deploy for extended periods to isolated outposts that are too small to justify the allocation of an extensive medical support infrastructure. Tat could be a problem for diagnosing and treating psychological health issues. But USAMRMC is forging a new path for enhanced psychological health among Soldiers deployed to the PACOM AOR, evaluating the effective- ness of technology to deliver behavioral health care.
